Stressed, Blessed, Coffee Obsessed

Here's another fun coffee theme card using a stamp from Lili of the Valley.  I added some great Turkish lace to it in orange. I think the orange and the purple go well together with the yellow shirt i colored on the girl.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:  do you use wood mounted stamps?  do you use stencils? how about brass stencils?

see the current winner list HERE

I haven't picked winners for Feb 13-Feb 18th, so if you haven't left a comment on those days, go back and leave one to be in the drawing!

Have you signed up on Feb 1st?  prizes are drawn from there every day this month, so be sure to leave a comment there!  GO THERE

That dark orange trim looks so beautiful with the deep purple. You always impress me with your talent Holley. I use clear stamps and rubber but rarely use wood mounted unless they are small. Large wood mounted stamps are too hard for me to hold and get a good image with.

I never would have thought to use this colour combo on my card, but it looks amazing. Thank you for the inspiration.
I like and use all kids of stamps.

Great image and wonderful sentiment. The colors are really dramatic..and look terrific! You are so creative.
I prefer clear acrylic or rubber stamps, but I still do use some wood-mount. They are tricky for me to use, though, so it's best if they are a background texture stamp or something that if the stamping is imperfect it will be okay.

What a cutie, and the coffee embellishments are great, and that amazing lace!!!Please tell us again some of your techniques for applying the lace. Your question is a repeat, methinks! Have a wonderful day!

Larisa said...

what a cute card, but it is sad a bit as liek my mood for today is either.. I hope all is good over there Holley.. :)
I am glad to use any kinds os stamps I have. I have not a printer to use the digi stamps, I am not a good painter either, and the clear or rubber stamps are the only way for creation here. ^) For tunately I can colour the stampings with water colours or pencils yet.. :):)

Every state is suitable to drink coffee, I am in coffee obsessed. I prefer transparent stamps and haven't used mounted wood yet.

Debra Bagato said...

I use to use wood mounted stamps but not anymore. I can never get them straight. Used brass embossing folders a few times years ago!! I love all things coffee so ur card is amazing

Suzanne H said...

I love this color combo! The lace is really dramatic. I have a few wood stamps but I've been taking them off the mount and using them in my Misti. I've never used a brass stencil and have a few plastic stencils in my collection.

She is so cute! I don't use wood mount, I removed all of my wood mount from the blocks so I could storage them easier and use them in my stamping platform. I do use stencils but not brass stencils.

Good morning, Holley! I think this girl might be a picture of you with your coffee, and the sentiment is perfect! The lace is gorgeous! What a fun month of coffee cards and gorgeous coffee-themed stamps and digitals! As for your question, yes, I use wood-mounted stamps and stencils. I have some older brass stencils but haven't used them much, not sure why. I seem to grab my plastic stencils first. Have an awesome weekend! Let the celebration continue! Woot, woot!

Susan T. said...

The colors on this cute card match perfectly! I still use wood stamps. I purchase mostly clear stamps now, but still have many of my wooden sets.

I have a big collection of clear stamps and love to play with stencils as well.

Oooh, what a pretty card and those colors are amazing together! I don't use wood mounted stamps very often but my kids do if they are cute images.

MadeByMeghanK said...

I love this card! Great image! I use stencils all the time! I used to do dry embossing with a light box and the brass ones but haven't in years!

yvonne 3D said...

Lovely card and the colors matching so well together ...not use wooden stamps but I do stencils sometimes.XX

Becca Yahrling said...

Lovely card! I do have wood stamps that I use, but do not buy them anymore because of the storage issue. I do use stencils, but not brass ones.

Candy Meyers said...

You have some really cute images this year. I do use wood mounted stamps. I have a lot of stencils, including brass and I rarely use them

Rhonda Miller said...

Lovely card. I use a few wood stamps, but mostly stick to clear or cling stamps. I love using stencils and have a few metal stencils.

Karenladd said...

I have quite a few wood mounted stamps because that was all there were when I first started stamping, but generally prefer clear or cling stamps now. They take up less room and I can see where I'm placing them. I also love using stencils or all kinds.

Mel C said...

Love this card, those colors are great together! Yes, I use wood mounted stamps and stencils. Not really brass stencils.

Kathy Dippner said...

Lovely card and great sentiment! I have wood mounted and use them. If I buy wood mounted now (used), I buy them for the image/sentiment and remove them from the wood. I love stencils but not brass ones.

Fun girl on your gorgeous card!
I do not have many (less than 10) of wooden stamps due to space.
Love stencils but again have the just so many due to space. They all fit into one bag.
Have a few brass ones but don't want any due to how I use them.
Happy "well" day to you Holley!!

bissecat said...

The colors are fantastic! I use wood mounted stamps but not stencils although I do have some.

Fikreta said...

Its so beautiful!
I do use stencils but mounted wood stamps not so much because I dont have them much as clear stamps.

Taty said...

Hello
your card is wonderful for a special friend. I have several stamps on wood but no brass, because they are not found in Italy. Happy scrap!!! Taty

Marjeta said...

I didn't see your question about brass stencils before, but I don't use them. In fact, not even sure how to use them!

Valerija said...

So great colour combo and a wonderful card. Love the image.
Yes, I like all kinds of stamps - mounted wood stamps too. I like to use stencils and brass stencils.

I love, Love, LOVE that color combination!

I unmount any wood blocked rubber I get. Too space consuming. Yes I use plastic stencils quite a lot. I'm partial to the 6 inch size, but I also have a few 12 inch, and a lot of other sizes. It seems like every company has there own size formats doesn't it? lol

Vivian Foo said...

Love your Coffee make. yes I have some wood mounted stamps and use a lot lot of stencils. Do not have any brass stencils yet.

Sindhu said...

Beautiful coloring...

ionabunny said...

Another gorgeous colour combo. I do have wood mount stamps, but rarely use them, and don't buy them anymore. Unmounted are easier to ship and store. But that said, wood mount rubber stamps do stamp beautifully. Stencil are fun and I do like metal ones, especially animal, background or patterns. Hugz

Shelley said...

This sentiment describes me to a T, lol. I love this card! I use both wood mounted and unmounted stamps and I also use both brass stencils and regular stencils.
